Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ------------------------------------------ 1. Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The June 30, 1996 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. Earnings Per Common Share ------------------------- Primary earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income (less preferred dividends net of tax benefits) by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. On a fully-diluted basis, both net earnings and shares outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of the convertible preferred stock. 3. Inventories ----------- March 31 June 30 1997 1996 -------- -------- (in thousands) Finished and purchased products $134,244 $129,184 Work in process 177,979 134,751 Raw materials and supplies 56,301 58,388 -------- -------- Total at current cost 368,524 322,323 Less excess of current cost over LIFO values 161,871 161,871 -------- -------- Inventory per Balance Sheet $206,653 $160,452 ======== ======== The current cost of LIFO-valued inventories was $335.5 million at March 31, 1997 and $295.4 million at June 30, 1996. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ------------------------------------------ (continued) 4. Acquisition of Business ----------------------- On February 28, 1997, the Company purchased all of the common stock of Dynamet Incorporated in exchange for approximately 2.8 million shares of its treasury common stock with a fair market value of $99.5 million and $51.5 million of cash, including acquisition costs. Dynamet is a manufacturer of titanium bar, wire and powder products, with sales for calendar year 1996 of approximately $100 million. The acquisition of Dynamet Incorporated has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary appraisal values and management estimates and is subject to reclassifications and adjustments in the future. The purchase price has been allocated as follows: (in thousands) Working capital, other than cash $ 24,011 Property, plant and equipment 37,804 Other assets 27,264 Goodwill 81,079 Noncurrent liabilities (19,987) -------- Purchase price, net of cash received $150,171 ======== Deferred tax liabilities included in the allocation totaled $27.0 million. The operating results of Dynamet Incorporated have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income from the date of acquisition. On the basis of a pro forma combination of the results of operations as if Dynamet and the companies acquired during fiscal 1996 had been acquired at the beginning of fiscal 1996, combined net sales would have been approximately $728.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, and $699.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively. Consolidated pro forma net income and primary earnings per share would have been $43.9 million and $2.18 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, and $42.1 million and $2.11 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively. Such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what the actual combined results of operations might have been if the acquisition had been effective at the beginning of fiscal 1996. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ------------------------------------------ (continued) 5. Potential Acquisitions of Businesses ------------------------------------ On January 23, 1997, the Company announced its plan to acquire all of the common stock of Global Technology, Inc. for approximately $8.5 million of Company common stock, $1.1 million of cash and the assumption of approximately $8.4 million of Global Technology debt. Global Technology has two primary businesses: conversion services for processing bar and wire products made of stainless steel, super alloys, titanium and carbon steel; and the design and manufacture of coil and bar processing equipment. Global Technology's sales for calendar year 1996 were approximately $30 million. On March 31, 1997, the Company announced its plan to acquire the assets of Rathbone Precision Metals, Inc., a manufacturer of custom, cold-drawn metal shapes. Rathbone's sales for the year ended September 29, 1996 were approximately $10 million. These potential acquisitions are subject to due diligence review and negotiation of final terms and conditions. Assuming the acquisitions are made, the cash required for these two acquisitions will be funded from the Company's existing financing arrangements. These transactions will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. 6. Debt Arrangements ----------------- In February 1997, the Company renegotiated its existing financing arrangements with a number of banks to increase its credit facilities from $150 million to $200 million, lower the costs of the facilities and extend the term to February 2002. The arrangements provide for the availability of $150 million of revolving credit and lines of credit of $50 million. Interest is based on short-term market rates or competitive bids. This financing arrangement replaces the previous revolving credit and lines of credit arrangement. 7. Remeasurement of Mexican Operations ----------------------------------- Effective January 1, 1997, the Company's operation in Mexico was considered to operate in a highly inflationary economy as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 52. When a foreign entity operates in a highly inflationary economy, the U.S. dollar is used as the functional currency rather than the local currency. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities and related expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. All other income statement amounts are translated using average exchange rates for the period. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at end-of-period exchange rates. Gains or losses on translation are reported in income. The effect on income of the above translation was not material for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Management's Discussion & Analysis of Results of Operations ----------------------------------------------------------- Third Quarter Results: - --------------------- Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $15.5 million versus $14.7 million in the same quarter last year. Primary earnings per share of $.86 were the same as in the third quarter a year ago. The improved results were primarily a result of higher shipments, the inclusion of the operations of Dynamet Incorporated since the date of acquisition on February 28, 1997, and lower losses related to the reduced investment in Walsin-CarTech, Carpenter's Taiwanese joint venture. Sales were $250.9 million, up 8% from $233.3 million in the same period last year. This increase in sales was primarily the result of the inclusion of the operations of Dynamet and increased sales of ceramic products and the Mexican steel distribution operations. Core Steel Division unit volume shipments were up 4 percent. Cost of sales was 75 percent of net sales in both periods. The effect on this ratio of a reduced Steel Division production level to adjust inventories was offset by lower raw material costs. Selling and administrative costs were higher by $2.6 million, primarily as a result of increased depreciation and amortization and the inclusion of costs for Dynamet. Other income decreased by $3.1 million, primarily as a result of a prior year gain of $2.7 million from the sale of the Company's partial interest in Walsin-CarTech. Nine Month Results: - ------------------ Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 was $37.2 million, compared with $38.9 million for the same period last year. Primary earnings per share were $2.11 compared with $2.27 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in earnings was primarily a result of a 2 percent decrease in core Steel Division unit volume, an extended maintenance shutdown period in the September 1996 quarter which resulted in lower manufacturing levels and higher repair spending, and a lower plant utilization level in the second and third quarter. These adverse effects were partially offset by lower raw material costs and reduced losses related to the investment in Walsin-CarTech. Sales were $654.3 million, a 4 percent increase from $627.9 million last year. The increase in sales was primarily the result of the inclusion of the operations of Dynamet and increased sales of ceramic products and the Mexican steel distribution operations. The sales increases were partially offset by a 2 percent decrease in core Steel Division unit volume shipments. Management's Discussion & Analysis of Results of Operations ----------------------------------------------------------- (continued) Nine Month Results, continued: - ------------------ Cost of sales was 75 percent of net sales in both periods. The effect on this ratio of a reduced Steel Division production level to adjust inventories and the extended maintenance shutdown was offset by lower raw material costs. Selling and administrative costs were higher by $8.5 million, primarily as a result of increased depreciation and amortization and the inclusion of costs for the companies acquired. Other income decreased by $2.9 million, primarily as a result of a prior year gain of $2.7 million from the sale of the Company's partial interest in Walsin-CarTech. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 was higher than last year, primarily due to changes in state income tax estimates and a federal income tax law change relating to company-owned life insurance programs.
